A recipe blog of favorites
Today I’m writing about my favorite new healthy breakfast. I stumbled upon this combination of steel-cut oats, walnuts, and pear by accident, but I honestly can’t get enough of it now. Some days I wake up craving it. I’ve loved steel-cut oats since I first […]
This Slow Cooker Southwestern Bean and Barley Soup is a delicious and easy vegetarian meal. It’s been too long since I made it, and I’m so glad I tried it again! I originally wrote about this recipe in 2010 – it was #337 of my […]
Fall-like weather has made an appearance here in South Jersey. I love fall. Autumn is a great time to do some baking. In the spring, I finally began to make bread again. I didn’t make bread as often as I’d hoped to do, but I […]
I didn’t grow up eating much fish, so this recipe for salmon with baked couscous was the only fish recipe I made for several years. The salmon, baked under a layer of couscous flavored with olive oil, lemon juice, olives, capers, and raisins, was delicious […]

This One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes is one of my favorite new dishes. It’s vegan and takes only 10 minutes to prep before putting it on the stove and walking away!
Edit 2017: If you want a half whole grain multigrain bread, check out this recipe. My goal in closing out the year – beyond just meeting my goal of making 50 bread recipes this year – was to not double-up on blog posts as 2014 […]
Bread, Week 10: I wasn’t sure what to bake this week. I was out of town over the weekend so I had no time to make yeast bread. I didn’t have ingredients (mostly bananas) for other bread recipes I had bookmarked. This Applesauce Oatmeal Bread […]
The other day I made a delicious Butternut Squash, Cranberry, and Sorghum Salad. I’d never used sorghum before, but I had to try it when I saw an inexpensive bag of it at a supermarket a few months ago. I decided to try it when […]
Granola is one of those foods that I go through phases with. I enjoy making it and eating it, but then I move on to something else. I had made granola a little while ago and still had a jar or two of it sitting […]
I’m Leona. My superpowers are keeping my family stocked with cookies, and eating those cookies.
Thanks for joining me here for some of my favorite recipes! Mostly sweets, of course, but sometimes I bake bread and make other things, too.
